  • Wash the oranges and the lemon thoroughly and rub down the skins with the sugar cubes. Put the orange sugar into a bowl and then add the juice of your 5 oranges and 1 lemon. Stir well, cover and leave to rest for an hour.
  • Pour boiling water over the tea leaves, leave for a couple of minutes and then strain. Mix the tea with the orange juice mix, the rum and then heat the mix again. Don't let it boil as this will ruin the flavour.
  • Pour the tea into a teapot and serve. Often served with Christmas cookies.

  1. What a lovely cup of tea Mommy Diva. I enjoyed this citrusy treat very much. It was quick and really easy to make, I'll be enjoying this one often. Loved the bold orange flavor. The only change to your recipe was to use orange sugar instead of a cube. I have alot of sugar left over from homemade candied orange peel, it was wonderful in this drink. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful tea. Made for Mommy Diva Cookathon.
